What "Everyday Watch" Actually DemandsBefore making the case for the Datejust as a perfect everyday watch, it helps to be clear about the job description.An everyday watch needs to survive daily contact with the world: doors, desks, gym bags, airport security, rain, and the occasional knock against a car door. It needs to read the time clearly in different lighting environments. It needs to not embarrass the wearer in a client meeting and not look like an affectation on the weekend. It needs a movement that keeps accurate time without constant attention, and a service schedule that doesn't make ownership feel like maintenance work. And if it's going on the wrist every day for years, the bracelet needs to be comfortable.
